It's weird though, my router shows the same speed going through it as what speedtest.net reports, so the data is coming from somewhere. According to my router it is coming from the IPs in the various countries too, not all from a Snap IP or anything. I'm unsure what to make of it. It also seems to only affect IPv4 traffic, IPv6 traffic is still slower internationally, such as http://proof.ovh.net/

i wouldn't think too much of that ip.. i think they just updated their DNS... i imagine they constantly do network upgrades... but considering you get that high ping to that destination, i get that high ping to that destination, and trying from the US I still get that high ping to the destination... i think it showing 16 megabits is just speedtest.net being broken.

that server i listed before is amsterdam... which although high ping tests to have more bandwidth than africa.
